BEFORE USE

  

DANGER!

Before using the polisher, check the following items.  In particular, check items 1 to 5 before 

plugging the power supply cord into the power outlet.

1.  Check the working voltage.

–  Be sure the voltage specified on the nameplate is the voltage available at the power 

outlet.  If the polisher is used with higher voltage than specified, the motor will burnout.  

Any attempts to do so may damage the polisher and/or cause an accident.

2.  Make sure the ON/OFF switch is off.

–  If you plug in the power supply cord without realizing that the switch is ON, the 

polisher will start and may cause an accident.

–  When the switch is slid forward, the polisher is turned ON.

–  When it is slid backward, the polisher is turned OFF.

–  Make sure the switch is slid backward in OFF position before plugging  

  

 the cord in the power outlet.

3.  Inspect the protective disc cover.

–  Do not remove the rubber guard.  It will protect you if the polishing disc breaks and 

against being splashed with water. 

–  Be sure to firmly attach the polishing disc or any optional accessory.

4.  Inspect the backer pad and polishing disc.
